SCENE 01 / WIRELESS MICROPHONE SYSTEMS
Wireless Microphone Systems
Professional wireless audio for your German production.
Here is how this works in practice. Wireless microphone systems enable untethered audio capture, giving talent freedom of movement while keeping broadcast-quality sound. Modern digital wireless systems give reliable transmission, wide frequency range, and encryption to avoid interference in complex RF environments common on busy sets.
Here is the short of it. We source and set up wireless microphone systems with the frequency bands and channel counts your production needs. Our team handles range planning and makes sure backup units are ready, so your sound department can operate confidently across many shooting locations.

Sennheiser Digital 6000 Hannover-Built & BNetzA-Coordinated UHF Wireless Across Germany
Here is how this works in practice. Wireless microphone packages across Germany are anchored by Sennheiser Digital 6000 — the broadcast-standard digital wireless system manufactured in Hannover that handles ARD, ZDF, Eurovision Song Contest, Olympics, and high-end global cinema work. We field EM 6000 dual receivers with SK 6000/SKP 6000 bodypacks paired with DPA 6060/4060 + Sanken COS-11D + Sennheiser MKE 1 lavalier capsules across Studio Babelsberg, Bavaria Film Munich, MMC Köln, Studio Hamburg, and Tempelhof Berlin.
Here is the short of it. EW-DX and EW 500 G4 supplement on ENG/doc work. We add Lectrosonics SRC/SMQV and Wisycom MTP60/MCR54 on multi-talent global features. All UHF frequencies are set up through Bundesnetzagentur (BNetzA) short-term licenses well in advance — key given the German digital broadcast (DVB-T2 HD) plus 5G rollouts from Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone Germany, and O2 (Telefónica Deutschland) that have compressed ready production range since 2020.
Here is the breakdown. Heritage Babelsberg global shoots (Inglourious Basterds 2009, Cloud Atlas 2012, Bridge of Spies 2015, Captain America: Civil War 2016, Grand Budapest Hotel 2014, Queen's Gambit 2020, Matrix Resurrections 2021, Argylle 2024) plus All Quiet on the Western Front (Berger 2022) and Babylon Berlin (Tykwer 2017+) — the most costly German TV series ever — set up the Digital 6000 + EW-DX setup now standard on DFFF/GMPF rebates projects.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We pre-scan each location's RF environment with Wireless Designer software before lockup and re-scan when global cellular roaming devices flood urban centers around the Brandenburg Gate, Munich Marienplatz, or Hamburg HafenCity. Berlin Philharmonic and Tár-style concert capture get matched-pairs cardioid wireless plus omni booms. Bavarian Alps and Black Forest exteriors run extended-range with directional antennas.
Cross-border supplements ship same-week from London ARRI Rental + Vienna under EU Schengen free movement via Frankfurt FRA, Munich MUC, and Berlin BER cargo corridors.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What wireless systems do you recommend?
For pro narrative work, we recommend Lectrosonics Digital or Wisycom for their audio quality, reliability, and spectral efficiency. Zaxcom gives recording-capable transmitters. For budget-conscious shoots, Sennheiser EW-D gives great value.
How many wireless channels can you provide?
We can give as many channels as your production needs—from single transmitters to dozens of set up channels for large cast shoots. Our frequency planning makes sure all channels operate without interference.
What lavalier microphones do you stock?
We carry DPA 4060 and 6060 (subminiature), Sanken COS-11D, Sennheiser MKE series, and Countryman lavalieres. Each has different traits suited to many concealment and sound needs.
How do you handle frequency coordination?
We scan your locations to identify clean frequencies and set up all wireless systems to avoid interference. This has both your wireless mics and any other RF gear like wireless video or IEMs.
What about range and coverage?
Range depends on the system and environment. We configure antenna distribution and RF cables to make sure reliable coverage for your shooting area. For large locations, we can give many receiver setups.
Do you provide backup equipment?
Yes, we recommend and can give backup transmitters and receivers for longer shoots. Having backup wireless protects your production against gear failures.
